Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 201 Yali's Self-Strategy

Inside the core space where life energy converges in the Douluo Continent, Ya Li took a deep breath, as if she had made a tremendous decision. A flash of light appeared in her hand, and the skull figurine, its entire body flowing with jet-black and crescent-white divine power, materialized.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she infused a wisp of divine power into the connection. After a brief pause, she spoke softly to the figure, her voice tinged with barely perceptible tension: "Hey—it's me, Yali."

Rebirth in the Divine Realm, the Core Temple.

Harosa was deeply immersed in his understanding of the origin of reincarnation and the newly acquired "Primordial Breath," his body surrounded by fluctuating runes of law.

The sudden sound was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly interrupting his profound state of cultivation. A feeling of displeasure at being disturbed welled up in his heart.

Each skull figurine corresponds to a specific person, and he naturally knew who was on the other end. But he didn't respond immediately; he simply waited indifferently, wanting to see what she wanted.

Seeing that there was still no response, Yali thought the contact had failed or there was a problem with the figure, so she raised her voice a little and repeated with some urgency, "Hey? Harosa? Can you hear me? Are you there?"

At this moment, Harosa's clearly impatient and icy voice finally came through the figure, concise and even carrying a hint of dismissal: "You'd better have something important to say. Speak."

The blunt tone startled Yali slightly, and a hint of grievance unconsciously appeared on her beautiful face.

She was, after all, a first-level god and a core being of this plane; how could he treat her like this? She couldn't help but retort with a hint of resentment, "You—can't you be a little nicer? I—I brought you good news this time!"

"Good news?" Harosa's voice revealed obvious surprise and doubt. "What good news could you possibly have for me? Could it be that you've broken through again? Hmph, that's hardly good news for me."

He subconsciously made a sarcastic remark, but then he thought it was impossible. Ya Li had only been a god for a short time; how could she break through again so quickly?

"Not so fast!" Ya-Li's voice came through, seemingly relieved that he had finally spoken, even carrying a rare hint of coquettishness that she herself didn't realize. "Why don't you guess again?"

A faint, slightly mischievous smile unconsciously appeared on her face, as if she had found some interesting way to interact.

Harosa frowned, then patiently guessed again: "You've discovered some new, interesting fragment of a law?"

"No, no~ guess again." Yali's voice even carried a hint of lightness.

Harosa had completely lost his patience. His voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable air of authority: "I'll guess your head! Yali, you're not just bored and here to make fun of me, are you? Hmm?"

Yali shrank back, startled by his sudden change in tone. She stuck out her tongue silently at the figurine and muttered under her breath, "You're so easily teased. Just kidding—"

She dared not keep them in suspense any longer, quickly composed herself, and got to the point. Her voice, however, sounded somewhat lacking in confidence, mixed with a hint of pride craving praise: "I mean—I discovered that near the Douluo Continent, there's another very special plane, constantly eyeing us covetously. That plane—it seems to have no physical form, composed of pure energy and a strange set of laws. I think—it might be perfect—for you to devour?"

When she finished speaking, her voice was barely audible, as if she had done something wrong.

On the other side, Harosa was stunned for a moment. A plane near the Douluo plane?

He immediately separated a wisp of his consciousness and sank it into the central hub of the Rebirth God Realm. His vast divine sense, like an invisible radar, rapidly scanned the spacetime region surrounding Douluo Star.

The scan results came back quickly: apart from his own Rebirth God Realm, the only other dimension nearby with a powerful energy response was the Abyss Dimension!

Haros's first reaction was a mixture of anger and amusement: "This stupid woman! She actually treats the Abyss Plane like some unclaimed treasure, offering it to me? Doesn't she know that it's the enemy that's been invading Douluo Continent? She's clearly making fun of me!"

But just as he was about to lash out, another thought flashed through his mind: Wait—she said it was very suitable for you to devour? She knew it was an enemy, but her first thought wasn't to ask me to protect Douluo, but rather that it was suitable for "me, and could become my nourishment"?

This shift in thinking instantly dispelled Harosa's displeasure, replacing it with an extremely rare feeling of joy.

"Ha—it seems all that 'training' and 'investment' over the years hasn't been entirely wasted. This woman is finally no longer that ungrateful wretch whose heart was only filled with Yun Ming and Shrek Academy, and who only felt fear and hatred towards me. She's starting to think like she might be able to use my things for him? Not bad, not bad, she's finally showing some signs of wanting to align herself with me."

His tone softened considerably without him even noticing, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible pleasure: "Alright, I understand. The plane you're talking about is called the Abyss Plane. That abyss passage connects to it. I already knew that."

He paused, then unusually elaborated, "My realm of rebirth is currently positioned not far behind it. Devouring it was part of my plan. However, the timing isn't quite right yet; we need to wait until it ventures deeper before we can ensure we swallow it whole and prevent it from escaping with its tail severed."

Hearing that Harosa was not only not angry, but his tone had softened and he even revealed his plan, Yali felt an indescribable joy welling up inside her.

She herself couldn't tell whether her joy stemmed from the prospect of resolving the threat of the abyss, or simply from Harossa's no longer cold tone.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Her voice was filled with excitement, but then she became hesitant, "Um—um—I—"

She hesitated for a long time, her cheeks flushed, but she couldn't bring herself to say the rest. What she originally wanted to ask was, "What price do you need me to pay for this?" This was something she had mentally prepared herself for before contacting him.

But when the words reached her lips, they turned into an unbearable shyness. Deep down, she seemed to be hoping that the other person would take the initiative to suggest something, rather than her having to "sacrifice" herself to say it.

Harosa was puzzled and frowned, saying, "What else do you want to say? Say it all at once."

"No! It's nothing!" Ya Li said hastily, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "You—you should focus on your cultivation! I won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, she almost frantically severed the connection with the divine power, and the light on the skull figurine in her hand quickly faded.

After the contact was lost, Ya-li stood there alone, feeling her cheeks burning and her heart pounding.

She subconsciously used her divine power to conjure a smooth mirror, carefully examining her stunning face. A hint of confusion and shyness filled her eyes: "Strange—I haven't gotten uglier—why did he just now—could it be—because we hadn't met?"

The moment this thought crossed her mind, her face turned even redder, like a ripe apple. She quickly removed the water mirror and covered her face in a panic.

Meanwhile, in the temple of the God of Rebirth, interrupted by Yali, Harosa simply ended his intensive training.

He pondered for a moment, and Yali's accidental reminder made him think of a key point.

"Old Yi, Old Yi," he called out.

The research sphere paused slightly, and Electrolux's figure appeared: "Fellow Daoist, what is it?"

'

Harosa gazed intently towards the Douluo Plane, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "Ya Li's work has been remarkably effective; the Douluo Plane is recovering faster than expected, and its life energy is becoming increasingly abundant—this is certainly a good thing. But, won't this, in turn, make those hyenas in the Abyss Plane wary, or even—fearful?"

He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the throne: "If they realize that the Douluo Plane is rapidly healing, becoming less palatable, or even developing resistance, will they still be so frantically trying to flood in and devour it? If they become afraid and choose to shrink back or even completely sever the passage to escape—"

A cold glint flashed in Harosa's eyes: "Then my plan will be greatly hampered. A frightened, fled, and sealed-off abyssal plane can't be swallowed whole by me."

"At least the Abyss Saint King, with his supreme artifact, is going to escape; it will be difficult for him to stay."

"It seems we need to add fuel to the fire, give them some reassurance, make them feel that victory is in sight, and let greed completely override reason —"
